The Port of Grays Harbor will offer walking tours of the Westport Marina beginning Aug. 15.

This is the first time these tours have been offered. The Port is showcasing the state’s number one seafood landing port. The 90-minute tour will feature an overview of the marina, visits with commercial fishermen, seafood processors, the charter fishing fleet, the Westport Maritime Museum and a visit to the Westport observation tower.

“We are thrilled to showcase the diverse users of the Westport Marina and the role our working waterfront plays in Southwest Washington’s economy,” said Westport Marina Business Manager Molly Bold. “With several projects underway or recently completed, and both commercial and sport fishing going on, August is a perfect time to observe the Westport Marina at full activity.”

Tours will be held from 3:30 to 5 p.m. Aug. 15 and 29. Reservations are required; call 360-533-9562. Comfortable close-toed shoes are required.
